<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: black;">I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was assembled before painting). When I assembled my car I used stainless steel fasteners and and left them unpainted. The appearance is striking with the shimmering screw heads (which will remain shiny forever more) but I'll bet it will be points off in a concours.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: black;">Alright, here's a question for the archivists...</span><u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: black;">Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need advice about under the bonnet (hood in USA)</span><u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: black;">Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6 each side) and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if they were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or unpainted & cadmium plated? </span><u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: black;">I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running again & I have done a few miles and everything has settled I will need to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If I do need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the hex sides of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them when I put the socket onto them?</span><u></u><u></u></p>
